As part of the wedding that I'm working on, I just finished the plumeria favor boxes that the client had ordered. They are going to ship to the Big Island tomorrow. I hope to have images of the centerpiece design on Sunday. It's such a beautiful, yet simple wedding favor but will definitely be well received by my couple's wedding guests. They look so real you want to smell them. LOL..This particular client ordered Big Island Candies shortbread cookies and they had a custom tea made for them with a note, "The Perfect Blend, Shaun & Carol, February 15, 2009). Let me tell you the tea smells AMAZING. Very tropical and I have a feeling it has pineapple and passionfruit hints in it. Cookies and custom teas... what a great wedding gift to give to their guests! Even better, Arna Johnson of Arna Photography is the wedding photographer!
Pineapples and OrchidsI'm finishing up another big order. This one comes from my client Laurie in Michigan. She and her husband are doing a vow renewal at the Hilton Waikoloa Village & Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. She contacted me via the hotel's wedding atelier and asked if I could do her centerpieces, hair flowers, favors, table cards, place cards and thank you notes. Her basic theme was greens and pinks and she really liked the pineapple design I did for another client and fell in love with the green cymbidiums. We modified the color pink as she wanted it a bit darker and more vibrant than the original one I made for a previous Hilton client. This was a fun one since the wedding was small, but each piece really works well together. These are just a few of the images that I took of the items I made for Laurie and John. 
Laurie decided on Big Island Candies dark chocolate dipped shortbread cookies to fill her favor boxes. If you have never tried these delightful shortbread cookies, TRY IT! They are really delicious - you can never just eat one, it's hard not to want to eat the whole box! On another note, if you love everything pineapple, try Honolulu Cookie Company cookies - another great shortbread cookie company out of Oahu. They make shortbread cookies in the shapes of pineapples and have these great fruit flavor shortbread cookies. I LOVE the lilikoi (passionfruit) and pineapple ones!
